community representatives from previous workshops. Bill Jerkey and Don <br />Ament might help us make the Greeley workshop well attended. <br />Grand Pre suggested that legislators be informed of the state's wetland <br />Threatened and Endangered Species efforts, and plans for the workshops early <br />on so that they may participate in any or all of them if they desire. This could <br />be done by a letter of invitation from either the DNR or the Wetland <br />Resource Group. <br />All field workshops will be open to local government officials, business and <br />agricultural leaders and state and federal legislators. The half -day forum may <br />be by invitation only. Discussion of both wetland and riparian areas would <br />occur in all workshops, but will be especially emphasized in Grand Junction <br />or Steamboat Springs. <br />III. Booklet <br />Kate Jones suggests that the 8 1/2" X 11" booklet should have a pocket in the <br />back cover into which information on issues and policy may be inserted. She <br />will be the editor and has a publisher in mind. The information presented <br />will be general and factual. The target deadline for availability of these <br />booklets should be May 1, 1993, in time for the workshops. <br />A review board is needed to approve the final layout of the booklet. We <br />should not make this cumbersome. This could consist of the Internal <br />Steering Group, and a handful of other people, perhaps Gene Reetz (EPA), <br />David Cooper, and Chuck Elliott (USFWS) or Reeves Brown (CCS). <br />The slide show and the written script will follow the booklet format. <br />However, it will be designed to be more flexible. <br />The Colorado Riparian Association will be contacted to see what their <br />brochure, slide show and video are like, so that we do not duplicate their <br />efforts. <br />IV. Mitigation Banking <br />Steve Dougherty will be away October 3 - 25. He will send Susan a draft <br />outline for the mitigation banking work before October 3. A progress report <br />will be presented to the legislative committee in January as well as a final <br />report before the end of the legislative session in May 1993. <br />We need more discussion on selecting representatives for the Resource <br />Mitigation Banking Team. DNR will monitor progress of the Colorado <br />Department of Transportation's efforts to create a mitigation bank. The DOW <br />also has some information. <br />V. Next Meeting <br />
